JOKER 2 Folie à Deux Full Trailer 2024 Lady Gaga Joaquin Phoenix Movie Warner Bros New1080p

Assuming that Joker: Folie à Deux will feel like a sequel to Joker and will continue to tell the story from Arthur’s perspective, the addition of Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn could make the story more complicated. Zazie Beetz's Sophie lacked agency in Joker precisely because most of the scenes featuring the character were actually part of Arthur’s delusions. In reality, Sophie barely interacted with Arthur, yet the film had shown an entire love story about them. Something similar cannot be done in Joker: Folie à Deux, as Harley Quin is expected to be as much of a lead character as the Joker.

Joker 2’s title itself reveals that Lady Gaga will be a co-lead alongside Joaquin Phoenix. It is difficult to imagine that the entirety of Harley Quinn’s story in Joker 2 could be the result of Arhtur’s delusion, mostly because Harley is too big of a character. Many Joker 2 theories try to explain how Gaga’s Harley Quinn will fit into Joker 2 – from the classic Arkham psychiatrist storyline from the comics to Harley being one of the Joker’s fans from the first movie. Regardless, how to balance those two points of view is one of Joker 2’s biggest challenges.
